MySQL Connector/Net 5.1.3 RC has been released

Hi,MySQL Connector/Net 5.1.3 a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released.

Connector/Net 5.1 represents a change in how we package our products. Until now, we've shipped our core provider and the Visual Studio integration bits as separate downloads. This has become a bit of a problem. Often we would fix a bug that involved changing code both in the VS package and in the core provider. This provided a versioning problem where users would need to upgrade both products to see the benefit of the bug fix. To solve this, we've decided to discontinue Tools for Visual Studio as a separate product and have, instead, integrated it into a new Connector/Net installer. We hope this provides a better "out of box" experience for our users.All previous versions of Tools for Visual Studio should be uninstalled prior to installing this product.

Version 5.1.3 works with all versions of MySQL including MySQL-4.1, MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1 beta or the MySQL-6.0 Falcon "Preview". Please be aware that this version is beta quality software and should not be used in production environments.

It is now available in source and binary form from [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.1.html] and mirror sites (note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point of time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site.)

The Web Provider did not work at all on a remote host, and did not create a database when using autogenerateschema="true". (Bug#39072)The Connector/NET installer program ended prematurely without reporting the specific error. (Bug#39019)When called with an incorrect password the MembershipProvider.GetPassword() method threw a MySQLException instead of a MembershipPasswordException . (Bug#38939)Possible overflow in MySqlPacket.ReadLong(). (Bug#36997)The TokenizeSql method was adding query overhead and causing high CPU utilization for larger queries.
